Excellent! Both of my children were very happy and engaged at all points. They cannot wait to go again!

I was really expecting a wonderful show. What I got was very over priced. The seating was not very comfortable. The prices for the popcorn, cotton candy and such were outrageous.I can say that my granddaughter did enjoy herself.

have to admit it was not as good as I remember it in the past. It was only the one ring and not as many animals like they used to have. Besides a camel and elephant the ponies and dogs were the main act. The storyline was cute but I don’t think it was worth the money I paid to see it. It was not the biggest circus on earth that’s for sure.

My son and I were seated in the front row on the floor, so close you could touch them. We totally loved it!! So worth the money to get floor seats.

Review 5 for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey: Super Circus Heroes

4/5

Super Circus Heroes

It was a good show. Very child friendly. Had three clowns which were not scary at all. A program that would appeal to children of all ages from toddler to teen. Something for everyone. Was not too long, intermission came at right time.

Was completely bored. This was not nearly as good as shows i have seen in the past. So disappointed.

Took my grandkids, all 5 of them. Watching their reaction to the show was just fantastic! They each had their favorite moment and not the same one! Especially liked the strength moves of the gymnastic team and the 2 man team! My grandsons are into strength training and were very impressed with this. Every other word spoken was WOW! Great show all around!!!

Somewhat disappointed at the usually awesome R&B circus. It seemed like many of the acts were amaturish and not up to par with typical circus acts. As always costs were out of the park for food/gifts. Although the setting was more intimate (one ring), the event was not worth the high cost of admission.

I took my two-year-old to the circus this past weekend– I have to admit I was a little nervous in how he would respond but we had a fantastic time and had great seats! My only question would be, why so few animals? There were only elephants, dogs, horses and camels. Just curious if this is due to animal-rights or if the circus is completely trying to eliminate animals being a part of the show? The entertainers were absolutely amazing. The food and marketing items were pricey but fun for the kids! Not sure if I would go to the circus every year but it was definitely a fun entertaining two hours for us. One last item to recommend would be having separate prices for adults and for kids versus a flat rate for everybody. Guess I was a little surprised that I had to pay $23 for a two-year-old?

Maybe I am just used to a circus being fun to watch, with lots of Lions, Tigers, but instead you see two Camels walking around, two elephants, and bunch of dogs and the rest of the show is filled with people dancing around so you won't pay attention to the lack of talent in the real show.

I did like the motorcycle tricks, and the ability of some of the performers but still just did not feel like a Circus! My grandson was ready to leave 1/2 way thru the show he was so bored and tired of it!

Sorry - just not for me!

When I bought the tickets for our family, I was very excited to take my daughter to her first circus. I was very surprised to arrive, find 1/2 the arena blocked off and a very small, one ring circus set up. The event is long - two hours+ and is light on animals. They have a cute act with ponies and dogs, then something with llamas, and later elephants, but everything else is very acrobatic/marshal arts heavy. Would not go again.

My kids (2 and 4) loved the show especially my 2 year old son. Aside from my following points the show was great and I recommend it to anyone with kids.

1. The second half is full of filler content and rather boring. My kids lost attention several times. Example: the Asian dance routines where they basically do nothing but run around.2. I'm still scratching my head what purpose the camels serve. You basically paraded them in a circle for a few minutes and then that was it. Boring. Get some lions.3. The music was turned up in the second half to obnoxious levels. I'm assuming this was to prevent people from falling asleep. A better solution would be to refer my first point above.

The last time I attended a B/B Circus was in l993 in Topeka, KS. It was fabulous. Three rings going at all times, A big parade around the outside of the rings, of animals and performers before the show. Huge trapeze troop. Lots of REAL clowns.This show had one ring - one. Two wannabe clowns.. and one Man (they dubbed as Mr. B Bailey) - who was at least funny. Most of the acts took skill and were entertaining. Worth mentioning were Two very muscular gymnasts who were great and had very fluid movements. Three girls gymnasts who were the same. A rollerskating duo which brought back memories of the 60s/70s. Two motorcyclists racing inside a wire ball cage. Acrobats with a spring board.The ring had to be switched between acts and so the pathetic "clowns" used up time trying to entertain the crowd which was boring.Not so great parts -- The Animal acts were so amateur. Some poor little dogs who looked scared to death rode on the backs of small ponies. Two camels came out and at lest it was good to see exotic animals in real life. Then two Poor, Old, Pathetic elephants came out. One looked like it had mange on it's back. They did their very best to put on a show. Usually elephants would pick up their trainer with their truck and lift him/her up, or put them on their backs. These just did basic moves. My companion and I felt soo sorry forall the poor animals in the show -- they looked so worn out and sad.To defend the Circus. I'm sure it must cost a tremendous amount of money to feed the animals and transport them, and it must cost a fortune for the entertainers to travel, and also get paid. Because of that, I assume the Magnificent Circus's of the past are gone forever.

this was my second Ringling Bros circus at the Civic Center in Peoria IL, so obviously I enjoy both the circus and the Civic Center. these shows are smaller in size than those that play Chicago.

I used to go to this circus when I was a kid, and always enjoyed it very much. For the past 3 or 4 years I have been wanting to go so bad, finally this year I had a day off work and was able to go. Bought two tickets for a friend and I. Drove to iwireless center instead of peoria civic center, even thought I got there 45 minutes early still couldn't make it there in time. Peoria is an hour away from me and moline is a little over an hour. I had bought front row demi Lovato tickets a few days before at iwirless center and thought my circus tickets were there too. Turns out I was wrong, it is my fault and I hope next year when it comes along I can go. It is the best circus I have ever been too and wish I wouldn't have wasted the time, money and gone to the wrong place. My family will never stop making fun of me. Just wish I could get my money back or some more circus tickets. Would have been a very good time!

We took four grandchildren, ages 9-12, to the Fri evening show. Unlike previous years, there was only one 'ring', as opposed to three. Our seats were excellent - section 24, row D. Right in front of where the action was & up enough to not have our view blocked. The usual acts entertained all of us; animals included dogs, camels, ponies, horses, & elephants. We missed the tigers & lions! Incredible acrobatic acts by two Bulgarian guys - who obviously were all muscle - & 3 gals who were equally agile & strong. Clowns were fun but not as much of a 'presence' as previous shows. Ring master did a good job & had a nice voice to sing The Star Spangled Banner. The folks on the high wire were incredible - we were all impressed.Treats were very expensive; our grandkids had brought their own money which they consumed in the form of popcorn & cotton candy.The circus was good fun but lacked the pzazz of previous circuses we've seen.
